What is Messy Play?

CRAFTS TABLE Green Peas Messy Play provides a wide variety of creative activities tailored to different age groups. Each week we focus on developing skills such as; cutting, sticking, collage making, modelling, and basic mosaic making. The activities are suitable also for pre-schoolers, as there is a choice of more challenging projects.
PAINTING We paint on upright standing, large boards using tools such as; brushes, rollers, scrapers, and stamps.
TACTILE PLAY Green Peas tactile play allows children to learn about size, shape, texture and length. We use variety of materials and encourage children to touch them, to manipulate them, and explore them by stretching, pulling, squishing and squeezing. Tactile play is also beneficial in helping to develop sensory vocabulary, the words to describe how objects feel ex: squishy, soft, slimey, gooey... Each week they play with grains such as rice, lentils, small peas and it is a real hit with children! Tactile activities change weekly - watch out for JELLY PLAY, FOAM PLAY, FLOUR AND WATER, SQUIDGE - CORNFLOUR DOUGH, ICE and many more...
PLAYDOUGH MODELLING They play with home made playdough in vibrant colours and variety of rollers, cutters, playdough guns and more..
NATURE TABLE A variety of natural objects, such as pinecones, bark, acorns, beechnuts, plane seeds and a selection of small wooden animals toys.
